  1. Don't really need Benson Smith Yager Sale Cristall either so starting to narrow it down.
  2. Can these defensemen play wing? If not they probably aren't interested.
  3. Jeanot represents that but wow that price. McCabe and Lafferty I don't really view as pushing the roughness needle. Meir ROR and Horvat are thicc boys but not nasty particularly.
  4. By the time we get him he will have so much HGH in his system he will be 6'2 220. No his size doesn't concern me. If we build our team correctly to take advantage of his talent. The Kid has 20 points in 27 games for Sochi KHL thats nuts.
  5. Right so I think we're good for whipping boys. Realistically if Minni make the playoffs with 13m dead cap we can too carrying OEL if we build correctly.
  6. We still have Myers. Ugh smh sometimes I wish we weren't such a shitty fanbase. Kotkaniemi is 22 I don't think it's unreasonable to project him as a 50pt 3c who can win FO's in his prime. Aatu Raty as insurance.
  7. Miller to Carolina To VAN Kotkaniemi 4.82 x 7 + Heimosalmi + Koivunen + 2nd Yes the return is underwhelming we would love Morrow/Suzuki but I think we have to accept those guys aren't moving. I don't think Kotkaniemi is the trash most do. People forget how rushed Kotkaniemi was he's only 22 we haven't seen his best yet. He got paid too early but I think over the course of his contract he will exceed it's value. Koivunen and Heimosalmi were both guys I was incredibly high on in their draft years I felt at the time they were both late 1st caliber players and marveled at how lucky Caolina was to get them both in the 2nd. Had my fingers crossed we would take Heimosalmi with the Klim pick. I think if we look at it through the lens of a serviceable good on FO's 3c slightly over paid + 3x2nds we do really well here. Most importantly we ensure we get a higher pick this year and next. Brock Boeser to Pitty 33% retained to Van Taylor Gauthier G + 2nd + Teddy Baby Blueger 2m ufa Gauthier is a fine goalie prospect having posted some very good numbers in both the WHL and AHL level. 2021-22 Prince George Cougars WHL 14 2.75 .923 0 7-5-0 | Portland Winterhawks WHL 28 2.16 .931 4 24-4-0 | Playoffs 11 1.92 .937 1 7-4-0 2022-23 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins AHL 14 2.42 .918 0 6-2-3 | Draft 5 OA Michkov basically the only player who could challenge Bedard for 1st OA falls to west coast red army. Best production of any Russian prospect ever. 14OA Reinbacher/Simachev/ASP take best D on the board. I like them in this order. 37OA Gulyayev/Minnitian/Bonk/Strbak again take the best D 50OA Kalan Lind Pest Kole's brother so hopefully he knows how hard he has to work to make it. 60OA Carter Sotheran Mammoth RHD plays physically and moves the puck well. 69 OA Juraj Pekarcik PWF playing in Slovakia's top men's league imo he's a future 3rd liner you win with. 90OA Oskar Asplund LDefense overager more than doubling Lekkerimaki's ppg in allsven who we took as I recall pretty high to score points. We take a dip short term but I think we have done well to fill the pipe with players who will be ripening right around the time Michkov drops on a full 3year ELC. We flip the switch in 2026. Rinse repeat next year very good D coming do like the Canes, NJ, and LA fill the pipe with D and use them as currency when we turn the corner. We build a solid foundation that lines up in timeline with the arrival of 21yo Michkov on a 3 year elc. Edit* removed 3rd. and retention on Miller
  8. If this was the off season and we picked him up I would be over joyed. He's RFA so if we want him the only time to get him is now.
